In personal horsey news, my daughter made the difficult decision to sell her beloved horse, Caesar, in order to find a horse more suitable for her desire to compete in Equestrian Eventing. Eventing entails competing in Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross country with a single horse. Caesar, while a wonderful horse, doesn't have the structure or power be competitive in Eventing and to put him through the stress of those disciplines would eventually result in injury.
We found a new family who will provide excellent care, ride him and love him as much as Erica has these last 5 and a half years. They are a well respected local family. While he's moved to another barn, Erica can go and visit him if she wishes.
Some recent photos of the two of them:
And a couple of my favorites:
Oh, what a difficult decision to make, but it sounds like one with a happy ending. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese photographs are wonderful, Shirley. You have one talented and very lovely "little" girl.
I love these portraits of Caesar and your daughter. What a handsome horse he is. I'm glad he'll be going to another loving family. Your daughter is just lovely!
